[@thiagofloriano7]

I'm completely involved in this Maori song, researching all possible versions and they all give me a very good energy. However, I don't understand anything at all, could someone help me by explaining?

[@followingheartlines]

its basically a song about returning home to your community and seeing the joy, laughter, tears, song and dance. you can find more complete translations online but thats the overall idea of it.

[@thiagofloriano7]

@followingheartlines AWESOME!!! I'm in love with Maori culture

@@thiagofloriano7 News from the Rotorua Daily Post: "Child, 2, dies after Rotorua driveway accident, family member steals from doctor trying to save child's life." As hospital staff tried to save the life of a 2-year-old boy run over in a Rotorua driveway, a family member swiped a doctor's two phones and a bank card and went on a spending spree. The child died a short time later but Melissa Herewini (A MAORI) had already taken the bank card to four stores in Rotorua and bought alcohol, food, petrol, phone credit and cigarettes. News 24 headline: "Shock over Maori infant brutality" They have been scalded, burned with cigarettes, raped, had bones broken and been beaten unconscious, sometimes to death. Horrific cases of Maori youngsters - some under two years of age - being tortured, abused and KILLED BY MEMBERS OF THEIR OWN FAMILIES Among the grisly headlines that have dominated the nation's media over recent weeks are stories of a 28-month-old Maori girl in a coma after suffering severe head injuries, a broken arm, cuts, bruises and cigarette burns over most of her body. The toddler's 52-year-old grandmother was being held in prison on assault charges. Police in the central North Island town of Carterton are investigating the death a week ago of 23-month-old Maori girl Hinewaoriki Karaitiana-Matiaha who was sexually abused, scalded with hot liquid and beaten before being taken to hospital by relatives. The child, who was put in the care of her grandmother by the Child, Youth and Family Service after consultations with the toddler's family just short of her second birthday, was dead on arrival at Masterton Hospital late on Sunday, July 23. And last week, a coroner in the east coast town of Tauranga found that two-month-old Marcus Te Hira Grey died from a brain haemorrhage following a severe beating by his father. These cases follow the recent release of a report into the gruesome killing last April of four-year-old James Whakaruru, beaten to death by his stepfather for failing to call him Dad. The stepfather had been jailed once for assaulting the boy, but the youngster endured a lifetime of horrific beatings, despite being under the eye of various child welfare agencies, and his hellish existence went unnoticed. The proportion of extreme cases of brutality towards children among the Maori population - which makes up about 15 percent of New Zealand's 3.8 million citizens - is far higher than for any other ethnic group. New Zealand Hearald news headline 29 May, 2024 “Raglan man Simon Terence Hamiora Kereopa drags partner outside naked, pours boiling water over her“ Kereopa ( A MAORI) dragged her outside through the kitchen door by her arms, down the kitchen steps and onto the ground. He then grabbed the kettle, which was just inside the door, and poured the boiling water over the victim - who was naked at the time - directly onto her skin. As he did so, Kereopa told her “you deserve it, and that’s what you get”. He then told her he would reboil the jug and pour it on her face. She ran to seek help from her sister but she was asleep, before running into her daughter’s room and hugging her. Kereopa then went into the room and said, “once you let go, I’m burning your face”. Judge Stephen Clark noted Kereopa’s 17 family violence convictions, eight of which were against the current victim. The man responsible, Simon Terence Hamiora Kereopa, was today jailed for the incident, his ninth conviction against the victim during their 20-year-plus relationship. New Zealand Hearald News 14 Apr, 2024: During a torturous and prolonged night of violence, William James Whata (A MAORI) held his partner down and shoved his fist down her throat with such force that he broke her jaw. The attack came after the 48-year-old had tried strangling his partner multiple times. By the time emergency services arrived, the woman was discovered with numerous injuries including visible damage to her jaw. Now, Whata has been jailed for the violence which started when he went around to the victim’s property on March 4, 2023, despite having been issued a five-day police safety order. A CCTV camera at the property captured most of the events from that night, which began about 10pmwith the pair arguing in the lounge. The victim turned and walked away when Whata grabbed her, put his arm around her neck, and put her in a chokehold. She fell to the ground with Whata on top of her. He let her go and she got to her feet but he chased her back into the lounge where he tried to put another chokehold on her. She managed to push him off but fell to the ground and Whata took the opportunity to put her in another chokehold for about 7 seconds, causing her to go in and out of consciousness. As he held her down, Whata then kneed her in the head and torso four times and continued strangling her for about a minute. Once he let go, she again tried to run for her life, making it outside, but Whata chased her. Some time later he got a knife and followed her around the house with it as she carried out household tasks. He stood guard to ensure she didn’t push her domestic violence button and at one stage cornered her in the kitchen with the knife to her head and punched her. At 1.45am, Whata threw her through the open ranch slider and then held her down on the ground, before closing the door and curtains. While on top of her, he put his hand inside her mouth and pried apart her jaw with downward pressure for about 10 seconds. She begged him to stop and tried to push him off but he continued similar attacks for two more hours. Some time later in the morning she said she needed to use the toilet, where she pressed her panic button and alerted emergency services. St John paramedics discovered she’d suffered a broken jaw due to visible jaw drop, and had multiple cuts and swelling to her face

[@samanthafaatupua3448]

Je pourrais avoir la traduction en français....j'adore carrément quand vous chanté 🙏🙏🙏😍

[@wolftruong2413]

Je les adore aussi ! Je chante dans une chorale de Barbershop qui s’appelle Vocal FX, et on a une rélation très étroite avec Pacific Connection ; on les considère comme notre « chorale sœur » à Wellington. Désolé en avance ; mon francais est pas terrible (je suis néo-zélandais) et je ne parle pas du tout le maori (donc je dois traduire de maori en anglais et puis en français !), mais en général la chanson est comme un accueil pour les expatriés qui retournent en NZ. La traduction des paroles est quelque chose comme ça : Ka pioioi e (Cette danse ondulante) Tohu aroha haukāinga (montre l’amour des gens de votre ville natale) E hoki mai rā (Vous avez rentré chez vous) Kia kite atu i tō iwi e (pour voir votre peuple) E rotarota ana (Il y a des gens qui font des gestes) E katakata ana mai rā (et rirent de joie à ton retour) Pūkana whētero mai (Des yeux qui éclatent et des langues qui poussent (un « pūkana » c’est comme un visage de guerre)) I te ihi ā ō mātua (de l’énergie de ceux qui dansent) Kia kite atu ano (Je vois encore une fois) I tō ataahua ai kanapa (Votre beauté qui y brille) Pupuhi ai e te hau (Elle est caressée par le vent) Kapohia āku roimata (et mes larmes se sont arrachés) Ça sonne peut-être un peu bizarre mais la langue maorie est très différente de l’anglais et du français aussi, alors les traductions exactes sont impossibles. J’espère que c’était utile quand-même !

I´m from France. I see that the film The Lion King has been translated and is now possible to watch it in Te reo Maori. When that big lion said "Chur bro" did they translate that into Te reo Maori or is "Chur bro" already Te reo Maori?

I remember walking through the forest in the Ureweras with a maori guide. He took us through an area that was tapu. He said there are bad spirits there so he did a song and a little dance and then said that the spirits said to him that they are happy now. So we sat down for a break. I took a banana out of my backpack to have a feed and all of a sudden the banana turned from a left-hand bent banana into a right-hand bent banana.
